Our take on the Aventura V2 140 w/ Skeg

The Aventura V2 140 is a 14-foot rotomolded polyethylene day-touring kayak from Feelfree's Adventure Touring line, built with sea-kayak features at a recreational price. It carries 395 lbs, has fore and aft sealed hatches, perimeter lines, thigh braces and an adjustable skeg, and can take an optional rudder. At 26 inches wide and 70 lbs it is stable and roomy but heavy to car-top alone. It is the longest boat in the lineup, so it tracks better and covers distance faster than shorter recreational kayaks.

Pros
  • Adjustable skeg holds a line in crosswind and chop
  • Sealed fore and aft bulkheads keep gear dry and add flotation
  • 395 lb capacity suits larger paddlers and gear
  • Perimeter lines and thigh braces support rescues and edging
  • Cockpit takes a spray skirt for rougher water
  • Optional rudder can be added later
Cons
  • 70 lbs is heavy to lift onto a roof rack solo
  • 26-inch width is stable but slower and wider than a true sea kayak
  • Polyethylene hull is durable but not stiff or light like composite
  • Skeg and rudder hardware need occasional cleaning and care
  • No fishing-specific rigging

Questions and answers

Is the Aventura V2 140 worth it?
For a first touring kayak at a polyethylene price, yes. You get skeg tracking, sealed bulkheads and rescue lines that cheaper recreational kayaks skip. If you paddle mostly flat water and want light weight, a shorter boat may serve you better.
How does it compare with a shorter recreational kayak?
At 14 feet it is longer and narrower than most recreational kayaks, so it tracks straighter and covers distance with less correction. It is also heavier and less maneuverable in tight creeks.
Do I need the optional rudder?
Most paddlers get by with the adjustable skeg, which handles crosswind tracking. Add the rudder if you paddle long open-water crossings or want hands-free turning in current.
How much gear fits in the hatches?
The fore and aft hatches with sealed bulkheads hold a day's picnic or a well-packed overnight load, and deck bungees take a dry bag or paddle float. Keep heavy items low and centered.
Can it fit a spray skirt?
Yes. The cockpit is shaped to take a spray skirt, which matters if you paddle cold water or choppy bays.
When is the price lowest?
Kayak prices usually dip at end of season and during spring sales events. Check the price history on this page before buying.
